Error!
I'm setting up a new install using Octoprint 1.10.1 on an ubuntu server and as I was going through my list of plugins to install I kept getting an error that had some info about config parser and I think I found the issue.
I think the plugins are using versioneer.py that expects an older version of configparser/python? I changed some lines in the versioneer.py file for arcwelder rezipped it and then it installed successfully. I have also done it for Marlin EEPROM Editor
I hope we can find a better solution for this but I'm sharing this as a workaround until we do.
HOW TO do this fix
Download install zip file from the plugins github or wherever.
unzip it
edit versioneer.py in something line notepad++
change 2 lines.
parser = configparser.SafeConfigParser() -> parser = configparser.ConfigParser()
parser.readfp(f) -> parser.read_file(f)
save that
rezip that whole folder into a new zip file
use the plugin file upload installer.
